Getting about 4 hours of sleep a night for the past two weeks is really catching up with me. *headdesks* zzzzz Stupid birds start chirping pre-dawn and wake me up, and once I'm awake there's no getting back to sleep. Plus, the sun comes up way too early and the littlest bit of light would wake me up... except the birds are up before the light, so it doesn't matter.

C'mon back, winter! Please! Make the birdies fly south and make the sun come up later!

Plus side: At least the mocking birds haven't come back (yet). For those who don't recall, those stupid birds make their car alarm-type calls (7 songs repeating endlessly, endlessly, endlessly) all though the night. Sing in the morning, like the other annoying birds? Nope. Sing in the daytime? Nope. 1 AM, 2 AM, 3 AM? Yay! Singing time!

Stupid birds.

FFXI: I decided to do COR "right", unlike BRD. BRD I just wore whatever armor, no real care about HQ or not. But, like DRK, I want to do COR right. So I spent the evening making HQ Noct stuff. And since I knew I wanted to HQ it, how about signed?

Heh. I forgot what a bitch it was to HQ Noct. I ended up with about 40 signed NQ pieces (no way I'm letting signed NQ out into the world, so they're all going through the AH), including 14 NQ body pieces before I finally HQed that. No signing crystals or GP left. Going to actually have to do a couple turnins on Thistle again!

Unfortunately, after HQing all five pieces I realized I didn't actually need the head. I have a Emperor Hairpin (I guess from NIN? Thought I had sold it) so that's HP -15, DEX +3, AGI +3, Evasion +10 vs AGI +2 for the hat.

I'm keeping my eye open for a Peacock Charm (RACC +10, among other things) as well. Price is higher than I'd like, but it looks like it's slowly dropping. Hopefully I can get one for not much over 2M. (That had been my goldsmithing money for Chaser, but I haven't felt like skilling in ages.)

In the interest of doing COR "right", I suppose I'll level RNG. I like /WHM a lot, and I have /NIN available, but /RNG seems to be the other big subjob for it. Problem is, I'd rather have teeth pulled than level RNG. It's 18 now, maybe I can dump my weekly XP scrolls into it... That leaves BRD with no way to build an XP buffer though. Maybe after I get this last merit point and can spend them, I'll change to doing Besieged for XP instead of LP.

It's amazing how few CORs there are (darned Immortals~). I like to use search to see subjobs and stuff. Last night I did /sea all COR 20-60 and got only 4 CORs. o.O I wonder why it isn't a more played job?
